haha hell ya, i cant wait. Getting the heads put together tomorrow. I dont have a valve spring tool, and NAPA will do the valve seals and install the springs for $30. Ill take that. Hopefully get the tcase pulled next week and get the new input put in that. Just have to get the shift kit put in the trans and I should be good to go. I have all of my parts (besides a few im picking up in 2 weeks) so I dont see why it shouldnt be running by the end of April. Sooner if possible. Weather is still ****** here so motivation is low.

Moar goodies. Think I have almost everything for the trans swap now. Input shaft, bearing and seal should be in the next few days, dropped the driveshaft off last night. Just need to order the new front shaft (from a 8.1 and allison truck) and converter

i would upgrade the u joints to 1350

 

[Nickleahy23]

I was thinking about that. I mentioned it to the guy but didn't decide on anything yet. I find tons of 1350 u joints for the silverado. What one should I be looking for? I can get 1 1/16 and 1 1/8 OD. Just need to know which ones to order. Are they the same on both ends of the dshaft?

Converter has been ordered. Circle D Pro Series Multi Disk 258mm 3b (3500 stall speed). Decided to go with the Multi disk for WOT lock up and if I ever decide to tow anything. Havent skimped on anything yet, might as well not start lol.

Got the motor tore down yesterday. Got it all painted up today and should have it back together tomorrow. Just waiting on the heads to get back and the motor will be done.

The thing was spotless. I forgot how easy they are to tear down. Had it stripped in about an hour.

Getting the motor back together. Just waiting on the heads to get done and I should be all set on the motor. Hopefully get the shift kit put in the trans and get the input swapped in the tcase this weekend. Shit might get the motor pulled next week.

Hopefully got this right lol
